Add or Delete a Study

To Add a Study:

  1. Click Tools > Studies and the Studies Set-up panel will appear.
  2. Click on a study in the left column.
  3. Click the >> button to activate the study.

To Customize the Study:

  1. When it appears in the right column, click on the study to change its Period(s), Color, Show in, and Label properties.
  2. To change the default period, click in the window and add the new variable for your period.
  3. Use the Show In drop-down to overlay the study in the main chart window or place the study in a separate pane below the chart.
  4. Study Data Points: Certain studies may be more precise when using a larger set of data to calculate the study results, but occasionally, a chart will not have enough data to maximize the precision of the results. What StreetSmart Pro® charts do for studies where this applies is extend the period used to calculate the study up to 4x the study period to achieve the most accurate study results. Checking Auto Optimize will automatically try to achieve the most precise results given the amount of data available. By unchecking Auto Optimize, you have a choice about how much data to use in the study calculation. Max Display will use data only from the number of periods you specify. Max Precision will use data from the specified number of periods multiplied by 4.
  5. Make the changes and click OK.  

To Delete a Study:
